Cye was sitting in the living room waiting for news on Ryo. He had woken up a few times, but was so drained that he couldn't speak much. No one didn't have the faintest idea of what happened to him. Mia seemed to much more on edge now, so uptight when anything was said about Ryo. ~ Do you know something Mia? ~

"Cye," he looked up as Kento walked down the stairs. He waltzed down the stairs, he wasn't hurting as much as the rest of them. Kento always kept an upbeat attitude now since the Dynasty wars were over.

"yeah?" Cye looked back down at the coffee cup that was sitting on the table in front of him. His hair looked ruffled and uncombed…which it was.

"Have you seen Mia? Sage needs to talk to her," Cye looked up and shrugged. They hadn't seen Mia since she answered the door when her friend came by.

"She might have left with her friend," Kento shook his head and went out back, leaving Cye to think. The girl who had stopped by, with the sea green hair. She had looked so familiar. ~ You were probably to drunk to remember who it was ~ he thought to himself sighing. A knock on the door brought his attention towards the door. Getting up he answered it, it was already 10 am in the morning.

A girl with long stick straight dark brown hair stood there, starring straight into his eyes. Her sandy blonde highlights made her glow in the morning light. She had a golden complexion that was make up free. A pair of flare jeans hugged her legs and hips while a black baby tee showed a bit of her mid drift.

"If you're looking for Sage he can't come to the door right now," Cye snapped. He didn't like having Sage's hot dates come to the door looking for him at times like these.

"Uh actually, I'm looking for Mia," she said tilting her head in confusion at him. He sighed and nodded.

"Come on in," she followed him in as Kento was entering the room as well. He stopped and starred at the young girl behind Cye. She wasn't looking at him, but down at the floor, looking nervous and out of place. "She's here to see Mia,"

"I can't find her," ~ that voice, ~ she looked up and into Kento's big brown eyes. She had to advert them back to the ground trying not to bring the attention to her. "I'll tell her you stopped by okay Tess?" she looked at him now. He did remember her…this was bad.

"Okay, thanks," she turned and walked back towards the door as someone turned on the TV.

"News of the Police of Chiefs son disappearing. He had been out that night at D-mix when his strange disappearance had taken place." Tess stopped and looked at the TV. Fear written all over her face. "It was said he had been there a few times and spent most time in the Rock Cave, he was last seen with a young blonde girl."

"You okay…" Cye asked. He didn't know who she was, but Kento did. By the look in her eyes he knew something was up.

"Tess I'm sure it had nothing to do with you," Kento said walking up towards her, causing her eyes to focus on him. Pressing her lips together she knew it didn't deal with her….she was busy when Amber had taken him.

"I know…I have to go," she darted out of the house and out of Kento's sight. He sighed and looked back towards the TV as it flashed a picture of the D-mix.

"She works there?" Cye asked taking his seat once again and Kento nodded. "What area?"

"Rock Cave," ~ something weird is going on…we have to find out what. ~

----------

Ryo groaned and shifted in his sleep. After a while his eyes began to open, closing quickly at the bright light. Lifting his arm up over his eyes he growled in anger.

~ couldn't someone have shut the blinds? ~ he finally opened his eyes, no one was there. He had heard voices earlier, but they must have left already. He looked towards the open balcony door, to see a silhouette out there.

"Mia?" the figure spun around, yes, it as Mia. Her red hair, which was now streaked purple was unmistakable. "Can you come here?" she hurried over to his bed, stopping in front of it. She didn't want to touch it or him. He was awake now, looking better then he had yet.

"Yeah Ryo?" she asked looking down at him. Her hair fell over her shoulders as she looked down, eyes full of worry. Ryo looked up at her. Her face was still angelic as if nothing between them had changed since they were…

Quickly pushing his thoughts about the past away he tried to sit up. Mia's hand twitched as he groaned in pain. Sitting all the way up he looked at her. Something was in her eyes, that hadn't been there before.

"Mia…I'm sorry for acting like such a jerk at the club…" Mia shook her head, the look in her eyes disappearing.

"Don't Ryo…I don't want to hear it. You need to get better right now and that's all you should be focusing on," she looked up as the phone rang. Darting out of his room she grabbed the phone. Ryo could see her from his bed, her eyes were narrowing and she sighed. "Okay…be there in a few."

"Mia?" Ryo called as she hung up. Walking back into the room she kept a straight face. Ryo knew what was coming…

"I have to go…D-mix needs me. Ever since they had the claim against them about the missing guy they've been going down hill. It'll only be for a few hours…I'll be back as soon as I can," she took a deep breath and looked at the clock. "When Cye gets back I'm leaving…I better go get ready," she left the room without waiting for a reply.

----------

Mia got out of her car not one bit amused to find the lines twice as long as they usually are. She sighed and started towards the entrance of D-mix, frowning at Johovan who was waiting for her.

"Mia!" he greeted her with a huge hug the pulled back to look at her. Her skin prickled, but she didn't know if it was either from his touch or from her bared skin. She was only in a shirt black mini skirt and a suede sand colored halter top. Her legs were bared all but her two inch heels. "I wanted to give you this, all the other girls have it," he handed her a velvet black box. Mia took it from him, carefully snapping the box open. Her eyes lit up at the sight of the matching silver anklets all the main girl dancers had.

"It's gorgeous!" she cried throwing her arms around Johovan, quickly forgetting about how he had lied to her about needing more girls.

"I knew you'd love it, now shoo, we need you to get to work," Mia nodded and started through the club, smiling at some of the people she knew there. Heading threw the fish bowl she saw a familiar face. It was the guy who had been giving her a hard time last week. He was eyeing her as she entered the Light Cavern. Picking up her pace she pushed her way through the thick crowd.

"Hey Mia," she nodded to the bouncer that stood at the door between the Bon Fire and the Light Cavern. Passing through the door she removed her long jacket and handed it to Troy, the bouncer for that night. Walking up towards her platform she noticed them all filled up. Nova came towards her and smiled.

"Mia! Glad you could join us…we're over staffed out here so we're going to have the extra dancers dance down here with the people…that okay?" Mia nodded and Nova smiled, " great! Have a good time!" Mia started to dance with a couple of people. She didn't really know the other dancers that were the ground workers. She usually was a performer.

"Hey you," she herd a husky voice whisper into her ear. The stench of alcohol filled her nostrils and she spun around. The guy from last week was standing there, pulling her against him.

"Let go of me," she growled trying to push away, but he held tight. His evil grin spreading further across his face. "I mean it!"

"Come on, lets go upstairs," she shrieked but her shouts were muffled by the loud blaring music. His hold was tight on her arms as he dragged her up the stone steps that connected to the building. Mia tried desperately to loosen his hold, but nothing worked. "Stop moving!" he barked as the reached an empty room. ~ no! ~

----------

"Eveon! Eveon!" the platinum blonde spun around, letting go of the buff looking man she had just had a hold of. A black hair beauty came running up to her, in all black leather, panting.

"What's wrong?" she hissed pulling the girl away from the man, winking at him before stepping off a bit. "Make it quick, a few more and I'm out of here,"

"It's Mia," ~ Mia?~

"What about her?" Eveon's eyes were wide now, looking scared and shocked.

"Some guy, he took her upstairs, he was roughing her up, she tried to get away….Eveon…it's her first room, she doesn't know anything!"

"No! Bon Fire right?" the girl nodded and Eveon took off running full speed. ~ No, she can't go into the room, not now! ~ she bummed into Gwen on the way, nearly knocking her over.

"Eve! Whats.."

"Mia!"

"What..?" Gwen stood there for a minute watching Eveon tear up the stairs to the rooms. "Mia…she doesn't work rooms though," Her eyes widened as it clicked. "Mia! Eve wait!" she ran after her scrambling to get up the stairs in her new heels.

----------

Eveon burst into the room, eyes wide as she saw Mia being sucked down into the bed, her screams being cut off by a whip that was covering her mouth. Mia's green eyes cried out for Eveon's help.

"Mia hold on!" she grabbed onto the bedpost, reaching for Mia's hand. Grasping it tightly she grunted trying to pull her up. She screamed as prism colored whips shot out wrapping around Eveon's body pulling her in with Mia. "Don't let go," Eveon cried as she lost her grip plunging down into the bed.

"EVEON!!!!!!!" Gwen screamed watching two of her best friends being sucked down into the unknown. "No!" the bed sealed up causing tears to brim her eyes. ~ No! This wasn't suppose to happen! ~
